O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_ACADEMIC_YR

Academic Year of Highest Degree

This 4-digit code is based on O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_MO and O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR. The academic year runs July through June:

O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_ACADEMIC_YR = O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR if
O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_MO = 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 (January through June)

O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_ACADEMIC_YR = O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR + 1 if
O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_MO = 7,8,9,10,11 or 12 (July through December)


O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_3_YR_GROUPING

Year of Highest Degree (3-year intervals)

This 4-digit code is based on O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR. A 3-year range is calculated for O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR with O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_3_YR_GROUPING containing the first year in the range. (For instance, the value 1974 would be stored for graduates of 1974, 1975 and 1976.)

O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_3_YR_GROUPING = 3 * the integer portion of (O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR / 3)


O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_5_YR_GROUPING

Year of Highest Degree (5-year intervals)

This 4-digit code is based on O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR. A 5-year range is calculated for O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR with O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_5_YR_GROUPING containing the first year in the range. (For instance, the value 1970 would be stored for graduates of 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1974)

O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR_5_YR_GROUPING =
5 * the integer portion of (O_ED_HD_DEGREE_AWARD_YR / 5)
